Federico Michetti

Like most sailors, Federico grew up in a family where sailing was the
weekend sport of choice. It was this foundation that encouraged him to
excel in every boat he was to campaign. Famously known to be a self-proclaimed
Melges speed fiend — his collection of accomplishments is spectacular. He is a Melges 24
World Champion crewmember, multiple European and World Ranking Champion
as well as 2007 Melges 32 National Champion team member aboard Claudio
Recchi’s ‘Let’s Roll’.

In May of 2007, Federico was named president of Melges Europe. He immediately added
another successful chapter to Melges' history.

“It has always been a dream for me to work alongside Harry Melges,” said
Michetti. “I really love the brand, therefore the leadership of this new
company comes naturally to me. We carry the same Melges’ philosophy of
building a superior, technologically advanced product and supporting it
with incomparable customer service.”
